Barnini Chakraborty, Tensions between the Trump administration and California leaders are escalating into an all-out political war, as Gov. Jerry Brown and his allies vow to fight the president tooth-and-nail over everything from sanctuary cities to environmental policies. President Trump fired the latest shot when he threatened to “defund” unspecified programs over California’s push to

Jeff Poor, Many of President Donald Trump’s critics are grappling with the reality the U.S. government will actually build the much-ballyhooed border wall Trump had pledged to repeatedly during his campaign. However, those critics are still arguing the money put toward the project would be a waste. The main question now is how the government

Mark P. Mills, Start with a simple indisputable fact. Most of the Department of Energy’s budget has nothing to do with energy. Nothing. Some $20 billion of that agency’s $30 billion budget is devoted to military-related nuclear activities. Other than DOE having a misleading title, what’s the problem with that?

He was one of the reasons I wanted to be a Marine aviator. Now John Glenn has “slipped the surly bonds of earth…” In 1962 I was a young Marine reservist intent on

Daniel Greenfield, Like a warped Islamic version of Santa Claus, Obama had a secret Muslim list. And his people checked it at least twice.

Rich Galen, One of my favorite people in all of Washington is a guy named Mike McCurry. Mike and I do three or four two-man shows around town a year: The Republican (me) and the Democrat (Mike) and we’ve gotten pretty good at it. I raise Mike’s name today because he did something in 1998

Waking Times – by Christina Sarich There’s the official explanation for why NASA is spraying lithium, a pharmaceutical drug most often used to treat people with manic depression or bi-polar disorder, into our ionosphere, and then there is the probable reason(s). It would be easier to accept NASA’s official explanation if they were not so

Phil Kerpen, The federal government is scheduled to spend $310 billion of your tax dollars this year on federal programs that are not authorized by law according to the Congressional Budget Office. That’s about a quarter of all so-called discretionary spending, so one of every four taxpayer dollars Congress spends is going to a program

The moon in 2020 will be just as round as it is today, but if the geeks at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have their way, it won’t orbit the Earth solo. The U.S. space agency is hoping to divert a small asteroid from elsewhere in the galactic neighborhood and robotically place it into

In a major blow to efforts to get Congress’ troubled budget process back on track, the Senate’s top Democrat yanked a $180 billion spending measure from the Senate floor Thursday after Republicans protested a plan that would have denied them the chance to more easily win changes to the measure.
